santa facing lee

In a Test between India and Australia, the fiery Bret Lee wassending quivers down the Indian spine.

The new batsman, our Santa, walked slowly to the crease, not feeling unlike a lamb at the slaughter house. As Lee thundered in, suddenly Santa stood up in the crease, and signalled that he wanted the sight screen adjusted. Adjustments were made and Brett Lee was ready to come in again.

Once again, in the middle of his run-up, Santa found something disturbing in the sight screen. Indeed, this went on a few times before the irritated umpire, Steve Bucknor walked up to the batsman and enquired, "Where do you want the sight screen, for God`s sake?"

Santa asked, with an ounce of fear, "Could I have it between Lee and me?"
